Genshin Impact: One Soul in Two Bodies Chapter 184 184: So, Lord, you've wanted to retire for a lon

"Hmm." At Cloud Retainer's words, Zhongli nodded and then continued,

"That is precisely what worries ."

Zhongli knew very well that retiring would be easy; he could find any excuse.

But whether the mortals of Liyue could walk their own path after his retirent was sothing he couldn't yet be sure of.

"Rex Lapis, you... are you really going to abdicate?" At this, Moon Carver, who was standing to the side, asked in surprise.

Although what Rex Lapis had said and the questions Cloud Retainer had asked had basically confird this fact, it was only now that Moon Carver was completely certain.

The situation was now clear: Rex Lapis was worried about whether the people of Liyue could manage on their own after his retirent.

But...

Why would Rex Lapis suddenly choose to retire?

Moon Carver was completely baffled by this question.

In his eyes, everything seed perfectly normal, so he didn't understand why Rex Lapis would suddenly choose to retire.

Wait!

That girl?

That girl who ca from that place?!

Just as Moon Carver was finding it impossible to comprehend Rex Lapis's intention to retire when everything seed normal, he suddenly rembered that girl.

If that girl hadn't appeared in Liyue, then the Liyue of today would be no different from the Liyue of the past. But she had appeared.

And it was during the ti of that girl's appearance in Liyue that Rex Lapis suddenly decided to retire. There had to be an unseen connection.

"Yes, it is ti for to... hmm... to use the words of mortals, 'retire'," Zhongli nodded.

"Is it because of that girl?"

Like Moon Carver, Cloud Retainer also attributed the cause of Rex Lapis's retirent to Kiana.

Turning his head to glance at Cloud Retainer beside him, Moon Carver couldn't help but think the sa.

He had been about to ask that very question, but Cloud Retainer beat him to it.

"Yes and no." Zhongli's reply this ti was quick, but a bit ambiguous.

However, to him, it wasn't ambiguous at all; it was simply the truth.

"Yes" because the two of them were currently collaborating on an act; "no" because he had long had this intention, and it wasn't a plan he'd made just because of Kiana.

Yes and no?

This...

What did that an?

After hearing Rex Lapis's answer, Moon Carver couldn't help but ponder its aning.

Although he himself would often say things to mortals that seed ethereal but contained so hidden aning, this was Rex Lapis he was dealing with. He had to be cautious and couldn't just guess at the aning and voice it aloud.

Hmm...

Do those mortals feel the sa way I do now when they hear what I say?

For so reason, Moon Carver suddenly felt just like those mortals.

"So... Rex Lapis, you've wanted to retire for a long ti?"

This ti, Cloud Retainer wasn't as cautious as Moon Carver. She gave it a mont's thought and then directly voiced her idea.

In her view, the aning of Rex Lapis's last statent was that he had long had the idea of retiring.

It was just that before he could implent this idea, that girl appeared, and that girl also wanted him to retire. Thus, the origin of the strange "yes and no" answer.

"That's right. I've had this idea for a long ti." Nodding again, Zhongli affird Cloud Retainer's conclusion.

"In that case, does that girl also hope that Rex Lapis will... retire?"

Moon Carver, who had been listening silently to the conversation between Rex Lapis and Cloud Retainer, imdiately understood.

It was obvious now: Rex Lapis himself wanted to retire, and that girl also wanted him to retire.

"I was starting to think Moon Carver wouldn't figure that out."

Turning to look at the two adepti, Zhongli offered a rare smile.

"Why does that girl hope..."

"Knowing this much is enough for you. Do not concern yourselves with the rest."

Knowing what Cloud Retainer was about to ask, Zhongli stopped her before she could finish.

He couldn't help it. After all, he couldn't just co out and say that he and Miss Kiana were actually putting on an act.

More importantly, acting this way would make Cloud Retainer and Moon Carver even more convinced of Miss Kiana's identity.

No matter what, the plans of soone from that place were not sothing even the adepti could know casually.

Sigh...

It seems Rex Lapis is really going to retire...

Exchanging a helpless glance with Cloud Retainer, Moon Carver knew that Rex Lapis's retirent was now a fact.

As for the rest, they truly were not qualified to know too much.

"You should return. It's getting late."

After saying this, Zhongli vanished from before Cloud Retainer and Moon Carver.

In an instant, only Cloud Retainer and Moon Carver remained atop Mt. Tianheng.

Shenhe?

That child...

Just as Cloud Retainer was about to say sothing, she suddenly noticed that Shenhe had arrived.
